The Chromebook experience is totally painless but still very powerful. To me it’s like using a mobile device in a laptop form factor.

It's weird when you first switch to a Chromebook because the experience feels so quiet and peaceful. You don't get nags to upgrade to the latest operating system, or popups telling you that your antivirus has expired, or weird random error messages coming from nowhere. Owning a Chromebook is a bit like owning an iPad or Android tablet – the system itself feels invisible, allowing you to focus on the things you want to do.

If you are used to do work on a mobile device like the iPad or iPhone (as I am), then a Chromebook is the perfect match. There are apps and extensions for most of the tasks you need to do. More than you think, trust me I know. And with these apps and extensions you can get the same kind of “experience” you get when working on a mobile device. And by that I mean the connection between apps and extensions. Like the share sheet menu on the iPad for example, that makes it possible to share content to different apps and services. You can build up the same kind of connections and workflows on a Chromebook. It’s much easier and more natural to do things like that on a Chromebook than it is on a Macbook or Windows laptop.

“Working in a distraction-free and hassle-free environment is very important for me to be as productive and creative as possible”

On a Chromebook I can install extensions that makes it possible to easily select a quote from an article I just read, and then hit a button and that quote can then be pasted into my favorite Markdown text editor of choice, fully formatted with link back to the source. I don’t have to do anything. After that I can click on another button that makes it possible for me to choose a picture from my Google Photos account, and then insert that photo into the same post. Once again, fully formatted in the exact size I want. I don’t have to do anything. And after I have written a complete article with my own comments to the quote, I can start to link up the final article by selecting words I want to link to, and then by typing some short commands, I can link up the text exactly how I want it. After the whole article is complete I can click on a button and get the complete HTML for the article copied to the clipboard, ready to paste into any blogging platform.

It’s so easy and it makes you so productive and creative. I can create the same workflows I had on my iPad Air that I used as my main computer for two years. It’s not possible to do on a normal, traditional computer.

And working in a distraction-free and hassle-free environment is very important for me to be as productive and creative as possible.

The Chromebook is the perfect device for people that has moved on from traditional computing, and in to an effective, connected workflow-based computing.

Many have asked me if I could make a watch face of the beautiful Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, so I finally decided to try. So in this post you can find my own version of it as a watch face for smart watches. You need to have the Watchmaker Premium app to use my watch faces for free. The Omega Speedmaster Pro Moonwatch watch face is compatible with Wear OS and Tizen OS. So you can use it with Android Wear watches and Samsung Gear, Samsung Galaxy watches.

Update: I have now updated my most popular watch face, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer. It now has my new Weather Station feature. Just face it, it's actually smartwatches we use for these watch faces. So why not add some smart features? Personally I have always wanted an easy way to to see all the info I need in one place without hurting the beautiful look of the watch design. So I decided to create something simple as a "page" with all that information that I need. So with just one tap above 12 o'clock you can unveil my "Weather Station" with info about the weather, battery life, day, date and month. And of course the time. And with just a tap again at the same place, you can easily and fast hide it again. Personally I think it's useful, so I added that new feature to this watch face. I hope you like it too. If not, well then just simply not use it. As I said, it doesn't hurt the design in any way. I also made the second hand showing battery l…

I've updated one of my favorite watch faces, the Rolex Datejust. It now has a new really beautiful and magical background, my weather station, variable brightness, optional date cyclop, and an optional second hand showing battery life when dimmed. Enjoy!

The markers on the watchface glows beautifully in the dark. Even with the variable brightness set very low.

This watch face is very good for the battery life too, you can easily have brightness level 2 or 3 during the whole day. And 5-6 during the evening. At least here in Europe this time of year.

On this watchface i also added an automatic decrease of brightness after sunset. It decreases the brightness with 40%. And get to normal brightness again at sunrise.

Setting the brightness level between 5-7 works great in low light environments. This variable brightness can you use together with the automated too if you like. Both works simultaneously.

Tap below 6 to choose between 7 different brightness levels. I added t…
